Furniture Marketing to Movers

Each year, 36 million people move. During the year surrounding this big life event, movers make approximately 72 brand-related decisions and spend nearly $9,000 on products/services related to moving.

When moving to a new home, it’s natural to want new furniture. New movers spend considerably more money on home furnishings compared to non-movers.

• The largest increases in home furnishing purchases happen closest to the move date, quickly returning to standard levels.
• Movers shop for new furniture starting 10 weeks prior to their move.
